Question

Find the area of the triangle below. Be sure to include he correct unit answer.

PLEASE HELP ME!

Answer 1

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=(1)/(2)bh`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=(1)/(2)(5)(17)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=(85)/(2)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=42.5yd^2`

• Find the area of the triangle below. Be sure to include the correct unit answer.

`\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Explanation} \downarrow}`

• To find the area of the triangle we need to know the formula, which is ⇨
• 
  `\large \sf (1)/(2) * b * h \\`
• Base of the ∆ ⇨ 17 yd
• Height of the ∆ ⇨ 5 yd

Now, let's find the area of the triangle given.

`\large \sf \: (1)/(2) * b * h \\ \large \sf \: = (1)/(2) * 17 * 5 \\ \large \sf \: = (1)/(2) * 85 \\ = \large \boxed{\bf \: 42.5 \: {yd}^(2) }`

• Be sure to include the unit yd² so that you don't lose your mark ツ.
